So, what do you play Minecraft (or other games) on?

Send a link to where you bought it, take a picture of it, or post the specs if you know them!


I'll start this topic of with my evolution of computers over the years.



1: [spoiler=HP Compaq cq2014 Desktop PC]
Product page


This was the piece of crap computer that I used to TRY and play games on. And it was awful.

Specs:
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
CPU: AMD Fusion E300 Dual-Core @ 1.3 GHz
RAM: 1x 2GB DDR3-1333 (One ram slot was dead, the 1GB stick in the other slot couldn't be used
GPU: Onboard graphics; no expansion slots for upgrade
HDD: Hitachi crap that comes with all HP computers

This thing died a few months ago due to hard drive failure (Hitachi crap), and has since been used as a footrest. I may eventually put Ubuntu on it and use it as a home server or something.

2: [spoiler=HP 2000-363NR Notebook PC]
Product page


This is my laptop, that is halfway decent, but definitely not designed for gaming. My grandparents got it for $200 used and recently gave it to me because they don't use it anymore.

Specs:
OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (Downgraded from Windows 8 Pro when bought to Windows 7 Home Premium, replaced that with Windows 7 Professional when grandmother dropped the computer and destroyed hard drive) and Windows 10 Technical Preview (will be upgraded to when 10 is released)
CPU: Intel Core-i3-370M @ 2.4 GHz
RAM: 1x 4GB DDR3-1600 SO-DIMM
GPU: Intel HD Graphics
HDD: 500GB WD Caviar Blue 7200RPM (Replaced stock Hitachi crap when grandmother dropped it)

Still works today, although it appears to be on its last legs.

3: [spoiler=Dell Latitude D630 Laptop]

Product page


My grandparents old laptop. Still kicking after nearly 9 years of use.

Specs:
OS: Linux Mint 17.1 32-bit Rebecca w/ XFCE4 (installed after hard drive failure w/ Windows XP Home Edition)
CPU: Intel Centrino Duo Dual Core @ 2 GHz
RAM: 2x 1GB DDR2-667 SO-DIMM Dual Channel
GPU: NVIDIA Quadro NVS 135M
HDD: 500GB Seagate Momentus 5400RPM

Stays at my grandparents house, what I use to play when I'm over at their house.

4: [spoiler=HP Compaq cq6910p]

Product page


This laptop was given to me by my school when it failed its testing for the project me and the schools IT are working on.

Specs:
OS: Linux Mint 17.1 32-bit Rebecca w/ XFCE4 (Windows 7 Enterprise N was wiped out for the project)
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo T7500 @ 2.2 GHz
RAM: 2x 512MB DDR2-667 SO-DIMM Dual Channel
GPU: ATI Mobility Radeon X2300
HDD: Hitachi crap that comes with all HP computers

It's somehow still working, and its what I used for a while during the time my gaming PC had no graphics card in it. Now its just sitting next to my desk, being useless.

5: [spoiler=Samantha]



This is my gaming PC. Some of the parts I received free from my Latin teacher. Other parts I purchased, and I assembled and installed everything on this computer.

Specs:
OS: Windows 7 Enterprise N 64-bit, Windows 10 Technical Preview and Linux Mint 17.1 64-bit Rebecca w/ Cinnamon (Tri-booting)
CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 620 quad core @ 2.6 GHz (clocked to 2.8 GHz cause why not)
RAM: 4x 1GB DDR2-1066 Dual Channel
GPU: AMD Radeon r7 260x 2GB GDDR5
HDD: Whatever was laying around in my basement essentially (there's 6 hard drives in this computer) Total capacity of 1.2TB

Yes, I named my computer Samantha.

The small laptop next to the tower is one of the 4 Lenovo Thinkpads that also failed testing that I have now.

Personally, half of what you stated above was in a different language. I really don't understand much about computers besides how to right and left click.
Anyways, my setup is basically:
Computer
[Spoiler]
Specs:
Well, it's red and has a scorpion on it. It also says "AMD" on the front. I think my computer and your Samantha are twins. And there's this blue flashing light that gets really annoying when you're using it at night. I'd say it weighs about 9 pounds but I'm not really sure.[/spoiler]
Monitor
[Spoiler]
Specs:
There are probably like 15 wires going into it. Idk what they are, but they're working, I guess. It's mostly black with silver lining. Oh, and it has "DELL" on the front near the bottom.[/spoiler]
Mouse
[Spoiler]
Specs:
My mouses pisses me off a lot. It's wireless, for some reason I though it would be a good idea to get a wireless mouse. It dies all the time. I'll be building away, enjoying myself, when all of a sudden, I just stop. It runs out of battery faster than an iPhone. I go through $30 of batteries a week.[/spoiler]
Keyboard
[Spoiler]
Specs:
The keyboard is wireless, too. Somehow though, my keyboard was blessed by the battery gods because not once have I had to change the batteries on this thing in years.[/spoiler]

[TooMuch4U]

I use a Retina Macbook Pro(13 inch)
[spoiler][/spoiler]
Specs:

CPU: Intel i5 dual core at 2.8ghz
Ram: 16 gb DDR3 memory
GPU: Intel HD graphics
Storage: 250gb SSD


The mouse there (the black one) was a $10 dick smith mouse. Even came with battery's and has lasted 6 months without changing them.

Someone plays minecraft too much :p

I think you would be better off investing in a new mouse.

I'm not going to share anything about my setup in particular (because that is not my area of expertise), but may I mention you can play minecraft through steam by adding it as a game? It comes in handy because you can shift+tab to quick message your friends on steam while playing minecraft.

I always run minecraft through steam, because:

you can shift+tab to quick message your friends on steam while playing minecraft.

Now if Overwolf would stop being a butt I could also use Skype without tabbing out of mc, and use steam chat through Overwolf. Simplifying life.

A slightly better MacBook than what I used to play on

Damn it my dad refuses to get anything that isn't Apple

It makes no sense

1400$ to get crap computer or 600$ to build infinitely better one???

I get 30 FPS average on CS GO with launch properties and lowest settings and force preloading and everything
Still decent at the game though and at least I can run a minimal amount of Steam games instead of crashing when attempting to run TF2.

344 MB of VRAM and a 2.7 GHz CPU. Still 4 GB of RAM.

*Crawls back into hole where I came from*
